Let me try to put this a different way.
I think that attacking a political candidate because some relative disagrees with them is, in general a silly argument.
I guess it is unfortunate that in this case, the person being attacked is Mitt Romney, because in the end I’m not really allowed to argue that the tactic is inappropriate, if it is used against Romney.
People had similar problems arguing that we shouldn’t be attacking candidates for making money and investing it and receiving investment income — I think that is a silly thing for a conservative to say, but because the target was Romney, I guess none of us was supposed to object to the line of attack.
So I apologize for saying something that would detract from making fun of Mitt Romney, especially since the story is about a guy who, apparently, has left the mormon faith, and is concerned about others in the mormon faith. I shouldn’t have compared HIM to ronnie reagan, for example (I wasn’t trying to attack Herman Cain’s wife either, like I said I was arguing against blaming candidates for their family members, not suggesting every such family member was a real problem. I’m guessing it’s OK to compare ronnie reagan and Gingrich’s ex-wife and Santorum’s wife’s ex-boyfriend, but that wasn’t my intention).
You are a liar and a conman, this ex-Mormon has been hurt by Romney's cult, the man is speaking out against that cult.
This is about souls, and you mock it in service to Romney, as our most devoted Romney supporter at freerepublic you attack Reagan and Gingrich, and push Romney, man the pro-Romney routine never changes.
